WRIPAC Meeting and Workshops
Choice of Trainings Wednesday, May 9, 2012
Free Meeting Thursday and Friday, May 10-11, 2012
in San Jose, CA
At the May meeting, two WRIPAC trainings will be offered. On May 9th, choose from one of the two trainings described below.
(1) PASS POINT SETTING: ADDING VALUE TO WHO MAKES THE CUT
Pass points signify the most basic of decision points in a testing procedure. Pass points on employment tests are most frequently used to differentiate among those individuals who demonstrate possession of required job-related qualifications and those who do not. Topics of discussion in this course will include the legal requirements of pass point setting, the intended and inadvertent uses of pass points, and the background rationale of pass point use. Participants will be introduced to the many considerations in setting effective pass points with an emphasis on the following:
• Job-relatedness
• Legal defensibility
• The utility of sound pass point setting practices
Through the use of hands-on activities and discussion, participants will be provided with a practical methodology and accompanying rationale for setting sound, legally defensible pass points.
PRESENTER: Shelley Langan
(2) DEVELOPING AND ADMINISTERING STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS
This one-day class reviews the latest interview research and addresses the entire structured interview lifecycle, from job analysis and question development through the training of interview panel members and administration and scoring process. Through the combination of individual and small-group exercises, this highly interactive class covers structured interview theory and concepts; the use of job analytic data in developing structured interview questions; question formats; the use of rating scales and scoring criteria; candidate scheduling, panel member training content; and administration issues. This workshop will help human resources practitioners improve the validity, reliability, efficiency, and defensibility of oral boards.
PRESENTER: Mike Willihnganz

Maybe It’s Not the Job, But the Customer
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 at Luminarias Restaurant
Warren Bobrow, PhD. presents on how technology continues to change how people interact with businesses. While traditional job analysis and validation studies look at the KSAPs employees need to do their jobs well, they rarely look at the characteristics of those they interact with. This presentation peeks into the impact of customer characteristics on valid assessments.
